Culture-time

Played a bunch of volleyball in a park (and a bit of ultimate) for the majority of Saturday. Ultimate really is a fun game... I'm thinking about getting a group together - post some fliers, that kind of thing. Anyway, Saturday was a day full of sports and, ultimately, pizza.
Sunday was a day full of tabi, happi, obi, and gigantic shrines on my shoulders while walking down Oodori in Morioka - that's right, I participated in an Omikoshi which would be called, what, a shrine walk? IF you've ever seen those sterotypical parades in chinatown in one movie or another where a bunch of people in really asian-looking garb are carrying a big, but still mini, temple that may-or-may-not have women dancing on it on their shoulders while chanting, you know what I'm talking about. At the end of the day, I was very tired (still am, 2 days later - that thing was HEAVY), but the owner of a new pair of tabi, and a pair of boots.
This weekend's highlights will be my first party at my house (= me cooking lots of food), internet hook-up, hopefully more frisbee, and probably a long bike ride because I need to start training for a mountain race I plan to enter on the day before my birthday.

What Do You Get...

When you combine 1.) a guy who purposely dresses like an old man, to the point of dying his hair grey, wearing suspenders, etc. 2.) a bassist who's main source of income is soft-core pornography and 3.) a moustache that might just challenge the throne that has forever been held by Mr. Tom Selleck?

I'll tell you what you get - the ultimate, groovy power of 中学生棺桶!!
